TTC

Trying to conceive, 2nt month of trying... I got pregnant really quick with my first son (3 next month and never breastfed) but my periods are so irregular now, my current cycle is 43 days long (yet to come on) sometimes they range from 32/40 days. I'm loosing the will to live, as I failed to get pregnant this month and can't start trying again till after my period and currently no period... (I'm defo not preggers) I think I could have PCOS as I have suffered really bad acne also for a while. Hs anyone been in a similar situation? If I contact the doctors what will they do? As I've read the doctors will only consider helping if you've been trying longer than a year (currently age 26) but it's so frustrating because I can't start trying again till ant flo arrives, if she does arrive....

Acne doesn’t have too much to do with PCOS. That’s just hormones. Pcos does cause excessive hair growth, irregular periods etc. I’ve just been diagnosed with it. My cycles can be anything from 21/40 days as well. What I would advice is ovulation tests and using a tracking app such as flo etc xxxx

As above i used the flo app to track periods then ovulation and took folic acid everyday for 2 months

@Radvile sorry not sure if I missing something but can’t see where you said you use Flo or ov tests.

Yes i mentioned Flo app and Folic acid, the app helped me track periods and ovulation

Took me 9 cycles baby number two even though and not breastfeed I would begin taking ovulation sticks to pinpoint your ovulation that will help you work out when your fertile period is as it might or changed. I also took pro conceive tablets the month I fell pregnant and their on Amazon

Symtoms or PCOS I get are: - irregular periods - I have excessive hair growth on my face (as I have to wax it) but I don't get it on my back chest ect? - thinning hair on my head - acne - and struggle so much with my weight even tho I'm literally in the gym every other day if not every day.... 😩 I've used flo app for a long time, I'll input a picture of my cycles below. I've just started buying ovulation tests but I've not had a period since I've bought them so do you recommend testing once my period comes (if it comes) 🥹 I will buy some tablets to try and help me conceive. So will to doctors be unable to do anything other than what you guys have told me if I make them aware?

Periods are not sign of ovulation has occurred especially in women with PCOS. I would begin test LH everyday for a whole cycle to see what’s actually happening x If you tell dr your trying to convince but not having periods they can give you tablets like metformin which can help induce regular cycles and periods It’s always worth contacting them for some tests and also see if they can give you something to help you get regular cycles ( other than birth control )

If I didn't have PCOS could I just have irregular periods

Thankyou for this! It's very helpful xxx

I think I got lucky with my first child, we weren't even trying and fell pregnant instantly when we weren't careful and that was nearly 4 years ago so trying to get my head around tracking and testing ect it's all new to me xx

APppintment today at the docs - I also read somewhere that there is no point using ovulation tests if you have PCOS as it can mess it up and give false readings x

This isn’t true 🙈🙈
